Louis XV Vitrine Cabinet – Kingwood Parquetry & Gilt Bronze Mounts

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the golden age of French Rococo, this vitrine cabinet evokes the exuberant craftsmanship of 18th-century Parisian ébénistes. Its sinuous silhouette, bombe-shaped body, and serpentine cabriolet legs capture the spirit of Louis XV's court, where decorative display cabinets were prized as symbols of refinement and cultural prestige.

Materials & Finishes

The case is veneered in deep-toned kingwood arranged in a herringbone parquetry pattern, framed by fine brass stringing. Four curved glass panels — front, sides, and back — create an unobstructed 360° view of displayed objects. A polished glass interior shelf completes the showcase. Gleaming antique-gold ormolu mounts — a floral basket at the door pull, foliate corner appliqués, scrolling apron cartouches, and slender sabots at the feet — are cast in solid brass and hand-chased to period-accurate detail.

Craftsmanship by Brass & Wood

Every piece leaves the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt after passing through the hands of master woodworkers, marquetry specialists, and metal-chasers. Solid-wood structural frames ensure lasting stability, while each ormolu mount is individually fitted and polished to a warm, luminous gold tone. The result is a functional work of art that holds its own alongside museum-quality antiques.

Perfect For

Curio collections, fine china, decorative objects, and jewellery display in living rooms, studies, entrance halls, and luxury hospitality interiors.
